Great evening at #ldnug thanks to @dylanbeattie and @ICooper and a bit of #DotNet Now on my way home, just managed to catch the train. So many tech meetups in a row.

Many glamorous TechMids conference people tried on my MC Hat yesterday, and became even glamorouser!

@woo @jasongorman Amstrad was great until they thought they could design a PC without the engineers who made their previous computers so good.

@jeremydmiller @flq music is wonderful. I’m a musician as well as a developer. That’s why I can’t have music on when I’m developing. I would listen to the music, be totally involved with it, and not do anything else.

When you are a MacOS developer or a Frank Krueger fan, every day is Xmas!

At #1000Trades for the #Entrepreneur meetup. Great food as always.

Great walk through Hay Wood this morning, so many acorns, so many conkers #SilentSunday

We are downstairs on the right this month at 1000 Trades. Sorry to have limited the sign ups, but we have less room today.

Bad meeting archetypes, meh to madness

"Special announcements": a sudden meeting is called with everyone in the company to relay information in 15min that could have been an email.

“It’s on the Calendar": no one remembers why this meeting exists but we all show up anyhow and spend at least 5 minutes chatting, but usually we use the entire allotted time.

“Standup retro”: the 5 min daily stand up that routinely becomes a rehashing of yesterday’s decisions over 30 min.
